The academic rivalry between you and Alhaitham has shaped every lecture and exam. Alhaitham holds an unshakable position as number one, while you strain in second place, sacrificing sleep and meals in a relentless pursuit to close the distance. Painkillers had dulled the headaches until a severe migraine tore through you in the middle of class. Alhaitham, seated just behind, watched the tension seize your posture. When you rose and hurried toward the nurse's office, he waited a deliberate beat before stepping silently into the hallway behind you.
